(a)Who Must File. (1) Nongovernmental Corporation. Any nongovernmental corporate party must file a statement identifying the party's parent corporation and subsidiaries and any publicly held corporation that holds 10% or more of its stock. (2) Partnership. Any partnership that is a party must file a statement identifying all partners, including silent partners. (b) Time for Filing; Supplemental Filing. A party must: (1) file the Rule 12.4(a) statement upon the defendant’s initial appearance; and (2) promptly file a supplemental statement upon any change in the information that the statement requires. COMMENT TO 2016 AMENDMENTS This is a new rule. Paragraph (a) differs from the federal rule by adopting language from District of Columbia Court of Appeals Rule 28. Specifically, it expands the requirement of filing a disclosure statement to include corporate subsidiaries and partnerships. In addition, the disclosure requirement covers institutional parties but not institutional victims. Paragraph (b) is identical to the federal rule.
